The
deadcast presents the wesley willis broadcast!
The deadcast
is back and better than ever fully powered with DSL, the stream
is now 100% live and supported at the deadcast computer bunker.
To celebratethe return of deadcast and internet broadcasting
freedom we have decided to do a wesley willis event for "however
long it takes". The legendary willis is a true free speech
advocate and his music has inspired countless others to perform
on the fringe of sanity.
OLD NEWS:
OFFLINE
......for now
Is truly DEAD!!!
Push
the button Frank....... That's right for the moment at least
radiodeadbear.com and its
deadcast network of webcasted
radio is off the air. We got shutdown by the same folks
who brought you such great ideas as $17.99 CD price fixing.
The RIAA and FCC have made webcasting an extremely complicated
endeavor so most 3rd party streaming hosts are very strict due
to the recent napster public awareness. So until I find a more
reliable host or gain a little bandwidth myself, The station
will only appear in rare moments, watch this page for further
news. An archive of events and interesting
things over the broadcast is available here.
The
interesting thing here, I think at least is we have this free
exchange of ideas and information out here on the web, but we
still have managed to drag those old 1950ish record industry
types and government goons like the FCC into this new fresh
medium. That seems to me like the eventual breakdown of the
real freedom of the Internet will begin when we allow those
who refuse change and are comfortable with the old ways.
The
system I was using only gave this explanation:
The
following is a partial list of the rules with which Internet
broadcasters must comply under portions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 114 given
the nature of the license, You have been removed from the system.
The relevant rules which you must carefully review are as follows:
- Your program
must not be part of an "interactive service." For your
purposes, this means that you cannot perform sound recordings
within one hour of a request by a listener or at a
time designated by the listener.
- In any three-hour
period, you should not intentionally program more than
three songs (and not more than two songs in a row) from the
same recording; you should not intentionally program
more than four songs (and not more than three songs in a row)
from the same recording artist or anthology/box set.
- Continuous looped
programs may not be less than three hours long.
- Rebroadcasts
of programs may be performed at scheduled times as
follows:
- Programs of
less than one-hour: no more than three times in a two-week
period;
- Programs longer
than one hour: no more than four times in any two-week
period.
- You should
not publish advance program guides or use other means
to pre-announce when particular sound recordings will be played.

only broadcast sound recordings that are authorized for performance
in the United States.
- You should
pass through (and not disable or remove) identification or
technological protection information included in the sound
